Draught at The Bruery’s anniversary. Hazy light straw color and a frothy white head, giving it a wit-like appearance. After several beers with no hops in the aroma, this one really blew me away. Sweet grapefruit, spicy hops, cinnamon, pastry dough and oranges. The flavor has light malts with a spicy, hoppy, somewhat herbal bitter finish. Medium-light bodied with medium carbonation. Pretty light and refreshing drinker overall, with a pleasing bitterness and an amazing aroma.

Tap at the Bruery. Golden yellow pour with generous white head. Aroma of bread, yeast and piney hops. Tastes the same with a great resinous hop dose. This is a really nice beer. Large amount of piney, resinous hops with no bitterness. Yum!

Growler thanks to JohnC. Pours with a huge, rocky white head and great lace over a hazed golden yellow body. Aroma of bananas, spice, hops, their house Belgian yeast, citrus, vanilla and slightly bready. Taste is hoppy citrus, Belgian yeast, and graininess. Lively carbonation, dry mouthfeel.
